I think it is not good idea to use same PC, because you have only one Control Builder, and control builder only support one instance open. it is sure when another user try to open appear one error message that indicate that already there is one cbm open.

in this case you can install compact control builder in another PC and test your program, if i suppose is for training purpose.

As more than one instance of CBM isnt allowed for a user in a PC, you can explore the option of installing CBM and softcontroller on the main system nodes and do 4 remote desktop sessions ( 4 people are working simultaneously on same remote PC using their respective user ID so i assume machines is not an issue).

Installing CBM on main system doesnt have any major impct on your system anyway.
